Keeping Your Appliance in Shape

Before performing any cleaning operation, unplug the appliance from the mains electricity supply (set knob “B” to position “” and then pull the plug out). Should you fail to follow this procedure, an alarm condition may arise. WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of an anomaly. To restore your appliance’s normal operating conditions, set knob “B” to position “ ” and then to the desired setting.

HOLIDAY FUNCTION. Mould and bad odours forming inside your unused fridge when you go on holiday need no longer be a problem: just enable the Holiday function (by setting knob "A" accordingly). This way, with limited energy consumption, the temperature of the refrigerator compartment is kept at around 15°C (you can store your make up and beauty products in it, for example) and the freezer is operated at its minimum setting, which is essential for food preservation.

A brief double buzzer will sound to confirm the function has been enabled, whereas a single buzzer indicates it has been disabled.

The new odour filter assures better quality of the air inside the refrigerator. The filter is located on the bottom right- hand side, inside the ventilation opening. The filter with ac- tive carbons can be activated by removing the sticker (Fig. 6). In general, to ensure constant air purification, the filter should be replaced after ap-

proximately 6-8 months from when it is activated (Fig. 7 and 8). However, the dura- tion may vary depending on the types of foods stored in the refrigerator. To replace it, all you have to do is contact a Service Centre.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning your refrigerator, set knob “B” to position “ ” and then unplug the appliance.

-Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation of odours that are difficult to remove.

-Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.

-What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based products.

-All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them.

-What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.

-When the appliance is left unused for an extended amount of time. If you decide to switch your appliance off during the summer months, clean it on the inside and leave the doors open.

-Replacing the light bulb.

When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment unplug the unit from the power supply and chang the used lamp with another one of not more than 10 W, follow the instructions illustrated in fig. 9.
